I was Born to Dream

I once believed in the beauty of dreams

The way one could close their eyes

And be in a different world

Far away from any war, jealousy, and greed.

Dreams were supposed to be a wonderful thing

Before succumbing the perversions of society

Everyone should maintain the norm

Unquestionable loyalty, unwavering unity, and undenounced devotion.

Daydreams were a waste of time and potential

Impractical, fantastical fairy tales

They would make you hate yourself

Not everyone can be a Mozart, Da Vinci, or Edison.

So I watched my dreams shatter into a million pieces

And like stars,

Shoot across the night sky

And I wished on them again and again.

I was born to dream

To live a life outside the lines of the one I was dealt

I needed the weight of the air around me to be sweet

Like honey dripping from the tongue of the wind.

The spirit inside me yearns for freedom

Wherever it may be found

And to satisfy my soul,

I must dream.

Forever and always imagining a better world
A place beyond here

Because dreams let us be anyone
And I belong to everything.

Exquisite. I can relate to this. I feel like I was destined to dream and to never achieve anything at all. Good write, keep it up.
